Sakleshpur Trip - July 2021 - Aroha's Resort Review

 We almost booked this resort but didn't confirm thinking it's better to have a look at the place first.

The resort has some astounding views from many different areas. The fact that it had many activities as well as a pool makes it wonderful for groups. However, their open restaurant was a deferent as it let in the cold breeze and made it unbearable when the weather was chill. To add to this, though we didn't stay there, the limited interaction we had with the staff was as good as the weather 🥶

The rooms were average in look and cleanliness.

The highlight of this place is most definitely it's views.

July Day Outing - Bangalore - Vama Resorts Review

 When we think of a #DayOutinginBangalore we always try and see if there's something different that can be experienced.

Came across #VamaRetreats which is an #experientialfamilygetaway with its unique #militarytheme which is evident in every element of the place. This #petfriendlyresortBangalore is run by Col.Pandey and his dedicated staff who are focussed yet very helpful. The food is exceptional!!! It's located amidst a 180 acres and offers a #beautifulviewofNandiHills. The rooms are neat, clean and sufficiently big.

Here's our take specifically on our #dayoutingexperience. We reached the resort in the morning, had our breakfast and were then treated with the dog show which the kids really enjoyed. We were allowed to pet and interact with the dogs after they'd finished. Post this our group went on to try the obstacle course where the staff explained the techniques to be adopted to overcome them.

Unfortunately, we were not told to come in specific footwear which meant that those of us who didn't have the appropriate shoes couldn't attempt the course. The staff stepped in here with whatever they had available which was very kind of them.

Probably having a few warm-up exercises before doing the obstacle course could have helped loosening our muscles since not everyone has an active lifestyle in terms of having a strong upper and lower body.

Next, was the most fun part-rifle shooting. Aspects of the rifles and again, the technique was explained in detail.

When we were done with all of this, we had a little time to rest and then the delicious lunch was served.

Washrooms to be used by day outing guests were common.

There are no activities planned for after lunch. Generally, we would spend the noons floating away in the pool, but another downside here is that they have a pool, but only for the doggies. Also, since entry to the obstacle course is restricted, you get finished and done with it in the morning. We decided to explore the #CanterburyCastlesGatedCommunity on cycles and had some amazing fun!!! After we returned to the resort, we played some cricket and ended the day with high tea and snacks.

So this was our #reviewofVamaResorts. All in all, we had a great time with the weather favouring us and the Lord of heavens wrapping it up with a lovely rainbow in the sky!!! 🌈

Sakleshpur July 2021 - Sirimiri Resort Review

 Just as we neared Sakleshpur, the weather was visibly different. Not really big drops of rain, nor a drizzle. Like a mist, but more than a mist.

We had already made a reservation at a Homestay that looked really nice in the pics online and had good reviews. But when we reached there, we were disappointed to find that the place was not really maintained. With three kids in tow, we had to find another homestay or resort that would make up for this.

While driving away, @nee_ella.g noticed a signpost that said "#SirimiriResort"

We called the owner who was in Bangalore at the time and asked about availability. How happy were we when we found that not only were there no other bookings (we visited last week of August on weekdays) but the place seemed perfect for kids too.

The cleanliness was up to the mark. There was a pool, a play place, indoor games, outdoor games, bonfire and even a small little water body just a few meters down. The views were soothing with coffee and pepper plantations surrounding the property. There are multiple places so that different groups can hangout without crowding.

However the highlight was the food!!! Every single dish of every single meal was an absolute delight!!! The staff were extremely courteous and accomodating.

Mr.Gagan, who we met before leaving told us that he tries to make an effort to meet every guest who visits his property. That, we thought was a cherry on the cake of hospitality considering he had to travel to and fro.

#SirimiriinSpanish means fine constant sprinkle of rain. Yes, it was a wonderful stay with the divine sprinkles of happiness on and off from heaven.
